NEWS: Rep. Krishnamoorthi tells us that Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark didn’t just prepare a draft a letter encouraging Georgia Republicans to overturn Biden’s win. He prepared similar draft letters to SIX states whose results Trump wanted to overturn. @CongressmanRaja

I would be surprised if an investigation by the Bar he has his license with doesn’t begin immediately.
He violated the oath he took the day he was sworn into the Bar.

If he got Georgia to do it, he'd still need Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc. It was definitely a head scratcher, since there's plenty on record where he is fighting for one state (esp. Georgia, but also AZ), but it would seem not to matter unless the others fell into line. But the play was obviously these letters from DoJ forcing all the state legislatures in the states he wanted to go full wacko.

Psychotic in every aspect.
